Prairie Hills Gelbvieh

Prairie Hills Gelbvieh has been raising purebred Gelbvieh cattle in Gladstone, North Dakota, on the edge of the Badlands in the southwestern corner of the state, roughly an hour east of Dickinson.

The operation traces its roots to 1985, when Galen and Marcia Sickler purchased their first Gelbvieh heifers at the Black Hills Stock Show and began transitioning the family's historic Hereford herd to the breed. The Sickler homestead itself dates to 1948, making Klint Sickler, who runs the ranch today alongside his wife Maralee, the third generation of his family to work this land. Klint and Maralee joined the operation in 2007 after purchasing the original homestead property, allowing the cow herd to expand.

Selection at Prairie Hills centers on cattle that can hold their own under dry range conditions — the program consistently culls for structural soundness, disposition, fertility, and maternal ability, with emphasis on phenotype alongside performance data. The herd includes both red and black purebred Gelbvieh as well as Balancer cattle, which combine Gelbvieh with Angus or Red Angus genetics. Buyers looking for Gelbvieh bulls for sale in North Dakota will find that the operation serves commercial cattlemen and seedstock producers alike, with genetics that have sold into Canada, Australia, and across the broader Midwest.
